Well I have being refused for the third time. I am so much disappointed. I am thinking this is the end of the road

so sorry please when did you apply

Does first time applicant need to write SOP and LOE? Isn't just SOP? It seems LOE is for whom has been previously refused and is reapplying, am I right?
I'd also like to know if CV is mandatory to be submitted and does it have a specific format?

Difference between SOP & LOE

SOP - Statement of Purpose
The theme of a SOP is geared more towards the first time visa applicants. In this case, the applicant will more likely talk about how the advance studies is going to complement past academics and how it will brighten up the future career scope. In addition, various other topics will be addressed such as capability to finance studies & living cost, why particular program, why Canada, why particular institution etc.

LOE - Letter of Explanation
The theme of a LOE is geared more towards the re-applicants (after their visa has been rejected in past). In this case, the applicant will start first-half of the letter by explaining what went wrong in previous applications and on what ground it was rejected. How those issues are addressed in the present application. In the later part of the letter the usual SOP stuff goes in.

You need to apply for your GCMS Notes as this is just a generic refusal reason. The notes will expand more on this, and you can tackle the issues raised in your reapplication.

You need to have a quarantine plan and you will only know if you will be exempted at the port of entry .


If your second vaccine is more or within 14 days day as at the time you are at Canada, you might not need to quarantine.

Saying this based on the landing gist so far on here.

Ehen ma'am have u been vaccinated now?.with hubby?

We are not o, na 14 days quarantine get us like this .
I’d get vaccinated over there.

Thanks Lianna. What about CV?

Braintrain:

Hello so I just started my ission process today for Newfoundland I paid 120cad processing fee I’ll like to know what else I need to do

Any Newfoundland student or applicant here I’ll like to know how I can submit my official documents please thank you

You can submit your cv and there is no required format.

It’s only when you are in and need to search for a job that you tailor your cv to Canada style but don’t stress yourself now.

If I was previously refused a tourist visa in the past and never reapplied again but would want to now apply for Study permit, would I have to write an LOE or only SOP is required?

Thanks for your reply.

God finally did for me. I learnt a lot from this platform including when I was putting my applications together.
First Time Applicant. Master program and 11+ years study gap. I ensured the master’s program is in line with what I do. #Silent – the master program I am going for, I already have the same certificate in Nigeria

Congratulations. If I may ask, what is the difference between your SOP and Letter of Explanation? What is the content of each?

Kindly clarify.
Thank you

Hi people. Please can anyone recommend schools with affordable fees for masters in economics in canada. Also Which of the school is generous with graduate assistantship position. Even if it is after the first semester.

Hi, they will send you an email about the documents that needs to be submitted. Then they will also direct you on how to submit it. It can also be through that said email or on the portal.
But it will be written in the email on how to submit your documents.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm August 4th Applicant as well. Check your msg inbox

viviangogos:
For mine, they did not update my upfront medicals until I got a medical request on 30th of September. I submitted the upfront emedical slip, then they updated to on the 1st of October. Biometrics isnt even updated on that info section. Though on the top right, it shows the information for biometrics with date done.
I think once they pick up your file for active review, they will update the medicals.
